It's Bandcamp Friday which means it's the perfect time to purchase Defeater.

(Bandcamp also allows for higher-quality uploads than other streaming services, so it sounds way better too)

NEW VIDEO! To me, the best satire helps us envision a better world. Grand Theft Auto, as made by a Rockstar that treats its workers as terribly as it has done, says this is as good as it gets. Here's a video discussing why I've personally had enough of that.

Enjoy! Shares appreciated!

PODCAST
Critical Error Podcast this week reflects on if GOTY winners REALLY have staying power.

What does it mean to enter TGAs canon? If we rarely refer back to a particular winner in subsequent years, is there something we can learn there?

this is what youtube comments are like
my favorite thing is when people respond to something you've said by summarizing the thing you said, but in a way that is presented as a rebuttal

It's weird how stuff with really interesting visual style ends up with terrible merch.

So much anime and other animation end up with tshirts and whatever else that just have boring portraits of characters on them.

So boring!! I dont want a shirt with a logo and a medium shot of some guy on it!!

Did a lot in 2025, but nothing makes me prouder than CRITICAL ERROR.

Feels like we made the video game podcast I always wished existed—focused, specific, incisive. A show about how we talk about games.

I wrote an album about the weight of it all.

One of my favorite lines from the entire thing:

I went to bed for dinner / we got nothing to eat because I paid for the heat / I'm so sick of starving

I’m Still Not Done Talking About AI Use in The Alters | Qualbert
The more we let companies use GenAI in development, the more we all stand to lose. We examine the ripple effects of AI use in games, beginning with The Alters.

Río's piece about The Alters was one of the things that had me thinking about genAI in Arc Raiders in the first place, very happy she was able to read a section of it for the video.

The piece is linked in her thread if you havent read it, it's some great games writing
Thanks to @peterspittech.bsky.social for reaching out to me to read some lines from my Alters article in his latest video essay! It was a pleasure to be included and it's awesome to see my writing out there

🚨 NEW VIDEO IS UP ON NEBULA AND PATREON 🚨

If I am opposed to the use of genAI, then how are we supposed to feel good about playing games that use them, even in the slightest instance?

'The Hole at the Bottom of ARC Raiders' is streaming now, subscription link below.

I think if I ever have a kid, we're skipping the ipads and I'm giving them a DS Lite.

Just vibes and LOZ Phantom hourglass, Pokémon ranger, and Metroid Prime Hunters.
